Answer:

0.0228

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The weight of football players is normally distributed with a mean of 200 pounds and a standard deviation of 25 pounds.

This means that \mu = 200, \sigma = 25

The probability of a player weighing more than 250 pounds is

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 250. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{250 - 200}{25}

Z = 2

Z = 2 has a pvalue of 0.9772

1 - 0.9772 = 0.0228

The probability of a player weighing more than 250 pounds is 0.0228

an employee adds 160 fluid ounces of chemical to a feature that holds 120,000 gallons of water. did the employee add yhe correct
Hitman42 [59]
We are given a volume of 160 fluid ounces of chemical which is added to a container that holds 120,000 gallons of water. Assuming that the chemical has the same density as water, we just need to convert 120,000 gallons to ounces.

A conversion factor is taken from literature, 1 gallon is equivalent to 128 fluid ounces. So 160 fluid ounces is only 1.25 gallons, thus occupying minimal space in the container. The employee could add more of the chemical in the container. He can actually add 15360000 fluid ounces in total.

write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through the points (1,2) and (-2,-1)
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

y=3/4x+5/4

Step-by-step explanation:

equation to use: y1-y2/x2-x1 so you get -3/-4 so your slope is 3/4 and you plug that into one of your point equations im going to use the first one so 2=3/4(1) +b so you are going to get 5/4 for b so your equation is y=3/4x + 5/4
